DATA MINING CUP 2015: Who are the up-and-coming analysts

As part of this year’s prudsys personalization summit, the best up-and-coming analysts from the DATA MINING CUP 2015 will be awarded. More than 188 teams from 48 countries took part in the world renowned student competition in the field of intelligent data analysis. As in past years, the task was to solve a currently relevant practical problem. Competitors had to take anonymized historical order data with accompanying coupon generation from a real online shop and use it to develop a model that would make it possible to predict the redeemed coupons and the shopping basket value for new orders.
